We are planning for summer vacation, but until now we didn’t decide where to go.
So how about you beautiful bloggers share us ideas for: where you plan your summer vacation?
We are planning to travel within the US this year, and will travel with our friends, so two family traveling together will be very interesting, we have a passenger van so we all will be fitting quietly with much room for every body, and with kids in company it will be difficult somehow, but if we plan to move at night while the kids sleep, it will be perfect and time-consuming, since kids get bored with long driving and sitting too much in the car.
My husband suggests Yellow Stone National Park, we never been there yet, so this will be our first time there.
We already been 5 years ago in Colorado and we love it, it was very fantastic, with nature land and parks, camping and wild life adventures,with many activities and hiking, and some cool in the Rocky Mountains, I can remember it was very charming place to visit.
We probably might spend 2 or more days somewhere in Colorado this summer vacation, since we must cross Colorado to go to Wyoming from Kansas, I mean if we decided to go to Yellow Stone National Park.
Until we decide, how about you what’s your plans for summer vacation?
And who ever been to Yellow Stone before, where did you stay there? whats the most activities you like?
Can you please share your memories and places you liked to go in Yellow Stone specially and within US in general?
